500 St. Clair, the newest condo to be completed in Toronto has just registered! This means unit owners can now sell their suites on the open market (MLS).  I was lucky enough to accompany my client during their pre delivery inspection before the building was complete and was very impressed with how construction was coming along. The kitchens – spacious. The cieling heights – generous. The lobby – very elegant… but the BIGGEST eye opener was the views!!! Residents of 500 St. Clair have some of the most comprehensive City views I have ever seen!

Residents in this art-deco inspired condo are welcomed by the concierge.  From there they can relax with friends and neighbours at the “Forest Hill Club”.  The club feature some great amenities including: indoor pool, outdoor patio, fitness room, theatre, billiard room, library and a furnished guest suite!

Original purchasers of 500 St. Clair were not allowed to sell their units until the building had registered with the City.  Now that it has, some great layouts have come on the market!  If you’ve thought of selling or living at the newly built condo…give me a call or send me an email, I’d love to help!

Below is a look at the outside facade of 500 St. Clair:

I was cleaning up some old footage from my Flipcam the other day when I came across a few clips I caught of the City.  With the Hot Docs film fest coming to town, I felt a bit “Spike-Leeish”  and decided to put together a short vid of my own…enjoy!

When you’re ready to call Toronto home…call me!

Yes, it’s that simple! Nuwan Fonseka, a Toronto-based mix media artist, reached out to support the group by donating the proceeds from his art to the cause. As I mentioned in a previous post, I too am supporting the Toronto Works for Haiti group by donating a portion of my commission as follows: From January 18 to February 28th 2010 for every $1000 dollars I help buy or sell in resale real estate, 1$ will be donated to one of the 3 charities.  The group now has 28 volunteers all doing there share to contribute to the relief efforts. 

It’s truly a win-win situation as you (the buyer) get to dress your condo walls in vibrant abstract art while supporting the relief effort in Haiti!  You can contact the Toronto Works For Haiti group directly for more info on purchasing the art, or send me an email and i’ll be sure to put you in talks with them! Below are the pieces Nuwan has donated:

In true Toronto fashion, a compassionate group of small business are doing their share to help the people of Haiti. Simply put, “Toronto Works for Haiti” is a group of volunteers offering professional services in exchange for donations to Haiti.

I had the privilege of meeting with the group … and believe be when I say they’re a coooool bunch of people with very diverse offerings. They can help you with everything from Japanese translation/interpretation to style consultation. (fella’s let’s face it, some of us are still rocking the silk ties!) All the service providers who have joined TW4H are providing special packages, and all the proceeds from them will go directly to the charities (Canadian Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders Canada, and The Humanitarian Coalition) with ZERO administration cost! If you have a service you’d like to donate, contact the group with your proposal! They’ve set a very modest goal of $5000 and are pumped about exceeding it.  Everyday they’re updateing their blog on progress the group has made and developments from the ground in Haiti.

I’m supporting the group by donating a portion of my commission as follows: From January 18 to February 28th 2010 for every $1000 dollars I help buy or sell in resale real estate, 1$ will be donated to one of the 3 charities mentioned above. For example, on a $400,000 purchase or sale $400 from my commission will be donated. This is a concept thought up by Andrew la Fleur and supported by Katy Galica and Kenny Shim from Re/Max Condo Plus (contact each Realtor for their exact details)

It’s a great way for Torontonians to continue supporting the relief efforts in Haiti while benefiting from one of the many skilled service providers this City has to offer!

As always…contact me for more info, I’d love to help!

The wait is over for residents of the Murano Towers at Bay and College.  By month end all units in both towers will have completed final closing meaning residents can now list their units for sale (or rent) on the MLS. The two glass towers standing at 45 and 37 stories respectively is located on the east side of Bay Street between Grenville and Grosvenor, immediately north of College Street.  The North tower is just about finished with construction in the South tower not far behind.  

I’ve listed a very unique one bedroom unit on the 38th floor! The condo has one of the largest dens on the market! It can easily be used as a second bedroom, study or nursery. 9 foot ceilings surround the space and help accentuate the open concept feel. After a busy day in the City, residents can unwind in the many amenities such as sauna, hot tub or pool with retractable roof. Stay in and enjoy the views (see above) or go out and take in the city… you’re only steps away from one of the longest streets in the world! The University of Toronto, Hospitals and TTC is all within steps of the condo.  Grocery stores like Metro can be found to the South and a 24 hours Sobey’s to the North. 

The seller is including the following: brand new dishwasher, stove, microwave, fridge, light fixtures, locker, closet organizer, stacked washer and dryer. Furniture may also be included. Views like this won’t last long! 

The common area patio (with BBQ’s) is still undercontruction and the retail space on the podium is yet to be filled.  Once completed finished, Murano will offer a ton of amenities and shops for it’s residents.  They have 24 hour security on site and monitoring the building and a lot of visitor parking below!  If you’re working with a Realtor tell them you’d love to see this listing…if you’re not working with one, tell me!…i’d love to help. 

If any residents are interested in selling at this time…i’d also love to help!
